Sorry Paws, Livvy Dunne is not interested.
Paws, the mascot of the Detroit Tigers, held up a flirtatious sign Thursday as Dunne’s boyfriend, Pirates ace pitcher Paul Skenes, took the mound at Comerica Park in Detroit.
Fans and reporters noticed Paws behind home plate holding the sign with hand-drawn hearts that read, “Sup, Livvy Dunne?”
Dunne noticed it too. She responded on social media, capturing the image and relaying a message.
She posted, “sorry … not my type of tiger.”
Both Dunne and Skenes attended college at LSU, also called the Tigers.

Dunne created a multimillion-dollar personal brand while competing as a gymnast at LSU. Now she’s trying to help other female athletes do the same, helping to educate them about name, image and likeness deals and personal branding.
She was also recently featured on one of four covers for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, along with Olympic medalist Jordan Chiles, entrepreneur Lauren Chan and Oscar-nominated actress, Emmy-Award winning director and producer Salma Hayek, USA Today reported.
Paws could not be reached for comment but later posted this response: “Shooters shoot.”
